The Countess of Wessex Is "Privately" Volunteering to Make Food for Medical Staff

Sophie, the Countess of Wessex has been "privately" volunteering at a London kitchen to help make food for National Health Service staff on the frontline fighting the coronavirus outbreak. Sophie Wessex, who is married to Prince Edward, has been helping once a week, "privately, without any fanfare," according to the Daily Mail.

The royal has reportedly been volunteering with a team of professional chefs as part of an initiative organized by British financier Ian Wace. His team have been working 24-hours a day to produce 59,000 free meals per week for frontline staff in hospitals across London.

Last week, Sophie also joined the team at rhubarb, a leading event planning and catering service, to help prepare food to be delivered to hospitals to feed NHS workers. The organization shared a photo of the countess preparing food while wearing a protective mask and gloves.
